Great host, great location, attentive staff,
Pros:

Our host Connie was wonderful. Was enthusiastic about her job, provided us very good restaurants with 5-6 blocks, as well as places to visit on our daily walks. Breakfast was provided and included wonderful continental options as well as eggs and coffee made to order. Overall, a great stay and would stay again if in the area. A nice boutique hotel offered character that lacks in the big hotels.

I'd come back in a heartbeat.
Pros:

The place was a feast for the senses. Food, flowers, the view, the gardens.

Cons:

I would suggest a small container for disposal of napkins, etc. In the courtyard. We had carryout, and had no place for our containers except the trash container in our bathroom.
